IMPROVEMENT IN HAT-POUNCING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,931, dated June 18, 1878; application filed June 3, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWIN B. WHITING and FREDERICK E. DAU'M, of Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hat-Pouncing Machines, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section; Fig. 2, a rear elevation.

The object of our invention is in the most simple and inexpensive manner to produce the vibratory motion of a hat-pouncin g block.

To accomplish this we employ a shaft, A, having two or more sides-the one illustrated in the drawings has four-and this shaft is twisted into a screw, on the top of which-is a hat-pouncing block, B, above a table, 0. On this screw-shaft is fitted a slide, D, made to move up and down this shaft by aiixed con- What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The screw-shaft A having the slide D fitted thereto, in combination with the hat-block B and cross-head F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
